I used the rearmost inner pod mount for a ground and run a power lead to the tail where i tapped into my battery tender lead, all ready fused and no more clutter at the battery.
make sure to route away the exhaust.

Just for reference purposes, Walmart, Auto Zone, and most importantly PRESTONE antifreeze solutions are all Ethylene Glycol based coolants (at least all the bottles I checked). I topped mine up with Prestone.

Well ya'll can add me to the coolant low list. I even went as far to ask the dealer to make sure and check the coolant. Will have to pick up some tomorrow and top off the fluids. So was it determined that it is possible to use wetter water in combination with antifreeze?

Thanks for this warning thread. Checked mine - empty overflow. The dealer gave me 500 ml of orange coloured coolant to top up.
